The syllabus suggests that your papers should have citations. This is an error. There is no requirement that citations be present. It is only required that you relate the paper to course material in some way -- to things that you were exposed to. But you need not cite to any particular lecture. However, if, by chance, you do happen to have footnotes to the book, this could help your grade. But it will never hurt you. This sort of thing is not a requirement. Dr. Sean Wilson, Esq.
